January 9, 2018 5.0 Pros Dynamic nature of judges and rounds. We have a competition with many, many rounds and hundreds of judges. No other software could manage it this easily. Cons There is no messaging automation. This is a burdensome tasks to manually send out messages after round completion. In addition, there is no drip capability.

We transitioned this summer from fluid review to Survey Monkey. It was easy for the onboard specialist to fit all of our application process into Survey Monkey. Also we received training on the new system. Pros I like the ease of use. Applicants are really responding to our system. I am assuming they are finding the process easy and quick to use. The best part of Survey Monkey is the tech support I receive. They do an excellent job of walking me through my problems and help me troubleshoot any issues that arrive. Cons I don't like that I have to send separate emails from several pages or I have not figured out how to send to all. For example: I needed to send 81 emails today. One page shows 50 and then I have to go to the next page. Review Source Response from Momentive August 23, 2018 Thank you for taking the time to provide this review. It¿s great to hear that you find the solution easy to use and that applicants are responding well to the system. Your comment about sending separate emails from several pages did catch my attention. I would love to connect with you to understand the emails you are sending in more detail and explore a solution to this pain point. I will follow-up via email. Thank you again for taking the time to provide feedback and we look forward to continuing our partnership. CZ Cynde Z. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Integrating from FluidReview to SurveyMonkey Apply" December 21, 2020 5.0 The customer service through SurveyMonkey Apply has been outstanding! Not only do the representatives walk you through the training, they also send you the instructions via email so you have access to them at any time. Pros We have been with Survey Monkey for several years and we integrated over to SM Apply last year. The thing I like most about SM Apply is the ability to maintain all of our previous information on scholars and being able to build on that over time. We were able to integrate everything over from FluidReview and us being a renewable scholarship that was very important. Cons The integration was not as easy as I had hoped for, however, it's a matter of retraining your thinking process in how the program works. Once I was able to work through the different processes I was able to work through it with no problem, it just took some time and patience. Reason for choosing SurveyMonkey Apply We integrated from FluidReview to SM Apply, same parent company.

I have completed several surveys in past months. Pros As I stated above survey monkey is a simple attractive data collection interface. It is very simple to use. Name, interface is quite very unique and impressive. Cons Nothing is negative for this software. Its very cool site. Reason for choosing SurveyMonkey Apply If there a way where a option for me to choose, i suggest survey money one of my favorite data collection site. Review Source IL Irene L. Resident Services Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SurveyMonkey helps get the Homeowners view" December 23, 2021 5.0 We have had a positive experience using SurveyMonkey to determine which projects to more forward with and which ones to pause. While the Board of Directors may feel that a specific project will be of benefit to our community, if the homeowners within that community don't agree, then we as management know which path to take. SurveyMonkey is easy to use and helps us take the "pulse" of the community quickly. Pros SurveyMonkey allows the HOA management team and Board of Directors to determine what issues are most pressing to the homeowner population in our 5500+ community. Since we are a large , diverse community it is hard to know what is on everyone's mind all the time. When planning a large project, such as expanding our recreational facilities or building new amenities, such as baseball fields or pickleball courts, we need to input of our community. Projects can cost from a $1K to over $500K so if we are going to spend the homeowners money on projects, we need to know it's the right projects. SurveyMonkey is so easy to use and allows us to create a quick survey or a more extensive survey and push it out to our entire community. It's the only way we know what our community is really concerned about. Cons Like any software, learning the little short cuts and tricks to making it work for you, is trial and error. We find it best if we have 1 staff member in charge of all the surveys regardless of topic. That way, we have our resident expert working in the software and we can accomplish more surveys quickly.

Director Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Unintuitive build, high learning curve, broken functionality, very buggy" October 18, 2018 2.0 Pros Modern design, has advanced features and is easy to use for reviewers and applicants. Given complexity of site and the fact that the advanced features are buggy and do not work, these pros are not worth it. Run away and don't look back. Cons Very high learning curve for administrators. This site build and structure assumes the administrator has a level of programming knowledge, which is very unrealistic. Every process, action, and set up is overly complex, and is not built to easily support archival of data. For example, changing a small field on the application form means risking the deletion of past archived data. Why not just archive the form and create a new one? Not allowed because you have a limit to how many programs you can create. You need to make 6 clicks navigating the site for a small task that should only require 1 or 2. For example, you need to create new users in the Manage Users page for the ENTIRE site, and THEN navigate to the specific program and click a button that switches between editing and monitoring the program, then start a new application for them, then click 3 more things in order to email them or assume their role. To assign reviews, you need to maneuver through three different parts of the website when it should all be housed in one. Implementation and support is inefficient, scripted, detached, and aware of many existing flaws but unhelpful to solve. Many intuitive ways to streamline the administrative site are not implemented although they have been requested several months ago. Review Source TL Tung L.

Pros The survey on the Survey Monkey Apply was easy to complete. Cons There is nothing I like least about SurveyMonkey Apply. Review Source PD Paulina D. Operations Asistant Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "La mejor opcion para hacer encuestas y tener acceso a las respuestas de manera organizada" May 11, 2023 5.0 Muy buena. Me gusta mucho utilizarla cuando las encuestas van dirigidas a un mercado tal vez mas formal, mas serio. Pros Que es realmente muy sencillo tener los datos que arrojaron las respuestas de las encuestas de manera organizada, por lo que todo es mucho mas rapido, eficiente, y visualmente facil de entender. Cons Yo diria que se puede mejorar en hacer que las preguntas de los cuestionarios tengan mas opciones de formas de contestarlas para hacerlas mas dinamicas, aunque de igual manera creo que para eso hay mas aplicaciones y por lo tanto no afecta.

Head of CIBSE Certification Environmental Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Energy Assessor Applications" December 18, 2020 5.0 We are managing a quite complex application process involving more than one external assessor quite seamlessly with plenty of automation. The reporting also helps to keeps things moving when there is a logjam. Pros This product replaced a system that we had in place since the inception of the business 10 years ago. It is natural to be nervous about change, but the product has met or exceeded our expectations and the development team held our hand reassuringly throughout the process. The technical competence and knowledge of the product to solve problems was outstanding. Cons We are still finding ways to get more out of the systems and are starting to use it in ways we couldn't with the previous system. Is never wuite being finished a bad thing? Reason for choosing SurveyMonkey Apply It was an almost out of the box solution with the excellent technical and development support offered Review Source Logan H.

December 16, 2022 5.0 SurveyMonkey Apply has helped us get a clear picture of our customers' thoughts and goals on how to make their lives happier. SurveyMonkey Apply has helped us onboard clients quicker, shorten the time for analysis of surveys for even better decision making! Pros I have always loved giving people the opportunity to provide feedback. With the Survey Monkey Apply software, things feel so easy. I don't have to worry about sending out those long survey links anymore and I don't feel like any of my responses are wasted. It makes for a very fulfilling review process for both the people being surveyed and for me as well! Cons We didn't find any cons for SurveyMonkey!!!

Ainsi, le logiciel montre un processus étape par étape très compréhensible. Cons Le moins apprécié dans ce logiciel est que SurveyMonkey Apply n'a pas la possibilité de saisir des graphiques. Review Source LF Liz F. Scholarship Funds Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "So glad we went with Apply!" January 4, 2017 5.0 From the day I first met the Apply salesperson, I've been impressed with the professionalism and thoroughness of everyone on the team. Their product functions exactly as they claim, and they work closely with clients to customize each organization's platform. We use Apply for our grants and scholarship programs, and although there are similarities in our use of the platform, they were customized to best fit each time of award program. The help desk is responsive, the on-board team is accessible and explains how best to use the system that they create with your input. One of the great features of Apply is that we, the administrators, can go in and tweak the application, build reports and communicate with our applicants through the system. We've been through onboarding, one full year's cycle of scholarships and grant making, as well as an annual review and subsequent tweaks, and we're in the midst of our second round, and we couldn't be more pleased. Pros Professionalism of staff, ease of use, ability to change our platform ourselves as needed, and the ability to build reports on any piece of data that we collect from our applicants. We even have happy reviewers use the system.

It's always been very helpful! People like the name too. Pros This software is able to reach hundreds of employees to get real communications regarding updates, policies, applications, anything. Cons Is there a mobile app? I think it would be a quicker and more efficient tool to use if we had access to this at our fingertips. Review Source AP Amy P. Grants Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Getting the Good Work Done" August 5, 2016 5.0 If it were possible to give more than five stars for customer service, we would. We have had a positive experience with Apply from the start of our build more than two years ago through daily use by our staff, funders, and non-profit clients. Pros Very intuitive, internally flexible (that is, there are typically multiple ways to access a command or list), built with the user in mind, very robust in terms of crunch times and multiple access Cons Sometimes I deal with people who like a simple picture and are easily confused by different routes to the same goal, or too many alternatives. Easily dealt with by giving them a specific path to follow, but it took me a while to figure out that occasionally the system can look complex (when it really is just flexible).
